Hm. I'm not so happy about adding code that gets compiled into every
system on the planet but is only used for testing with the mockup driver.

Atleast it should be #ifdef:ed (one of the few cases when we should
do that).

But I would prefer if there was some more elegant way. Like getting
a mockup irqchip! But I don't know how hard that is indeed.
